Comments for StoveTec Coffee Morning

I hadn't thought of a raffle, but that is a great idea to get people interested. particularly if I can do it on a day when there will be parents in school, perhaps at a half term or something.

Also, facebook could be a great way to promote it amongst the students. They all have accounts and I could probably get a few onside to help spread the word.

All the best, and thanks!

Great Ideaby: Rob Hampson

Hi Mike,

I think your Coffee morning fundraiser is a great idea and the stoves sound really interesting.

Consider raffling one of the stoves off as a add-on fundraiser to your coffee morning!

I'll put in some thought about how you can promote the stoves. Am I right in guessing that when you say "promote them", you mean raise funds so that more of them can be made to be sent to the poor people of the world?

I'd suggest a good start would be to start a Facebook page promoting the idea and have information of how these innovative stoves are really helping people. Maybe make a short demonstrative video of how they work. Then give details of how people can help out by donating or holding fundraisers to raise funds for this great initiative.

Obviously you should also then invite all your friends and contacts on Facebook and encourage them to invite all their friends and contacts.

Facebook is a great place to build some network buzz over an idea like this.

Make sure you also encourage the people who come to your coffee morning to spread the word as much as possible as well! Word of mouth is a great promoting tool.
